There are many many bakers who argue this over and over which is more accurate. Most will agree metric is more accurate just because of this.

Say you need 12 eggs or egg yolks. 1 cup/240 MLs.

Since every egg has different SIZE egg yolks/whites. It is more accurate/easier to measure by VOLUME 240 MLs then it is by 12 eggs/egg yolks or 1 cup.

EDIT:

And I was told Racin, that your suppose to measure below the line. Though I forgot the technical term of it.

I think you're referring to the meniscus?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
